1 Month of Being Vegetarian
Four weeks ago I set myself a task, no meat for the whole of February.  It was a challenge, but I found some new recipes, I bought things I'd never bought before (aubergine, I didn't even know what the inside looked like) and I cooked equally as badly as I would if I was eating meat, though with less food poisoning.

Mushy Piles of Falafel

I found a recipe in a little vegetarian...
